A mac only freeware. This is an application that is a site specific browser. That is, it only browses one website per instance of the browser... and is thus very clean and fast. It literally turns individual websites into individual applications on your desktop.

For most sites, this is unnecessary, but especially after trying to use moinx moinx on my desktop, or just trying to do simple gmailin', I've kind of decided some of us might really need this. Take a look at it if you have a mac.

An application that generates site specific versions of Safari. You can restrict the browser to a specific domain name. Tabs and Greasemonkey are also supported. Great for webapps like RSS readers, Hotmail and Friendfeed, although if you use Gmail you should try Mailplane (http://mailplaneapp.com).

From the page:
"If so, Site Specific Browsers (SSBs) provide a great solution for your WebApp woes. Using Fluid, you can create SSBs to run each of your favorite WebApps as a separate desktop application. Fluid gives any WebApp a home on your Mac OS X desktop complete with Dock icon, standard menu bar, logical separation from your other web browsing activity, and many other goodies."
